Interleukin 8 (IL-8, also as CXCL8) is a chemokine with a defining CXC amino acid motif, and has tumorigenic and proangiogenic properties. This chemokine is secreted by a variety of cell types including monocyte/macrophages, T cells, neutrophils, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and various tumor cell lines in response to inflammatory stimuli (IL1, TNF, LPS, etc). This chemokine has crucial roles in various pathological conditions such as chronic inflammation and cancer. IL-8 has been associated with tumor angiogenesis, metastasis, and poor prognosis in breast cancer.
